Property Tax Rates Across Georgia
Local government entities set tax rates, which can vary widely within a state. Annually, each county estimates its required budget to provide services and divides that by the total value of all taxable property within its jurisdiction. This calculation results in the property tax rate. While there are votes and laws involved in setting tax rates and budgets, in a nutshell, this is the annual process. Below, you can compare a Georgia county’s effective property tax rate to other counties in Georgia or the U.S. median property tax rate. For instance, Dougherty County has the highest effective property tax rate in Georgia, at 1.85%, while Union County has the lowest, at 0.43%.
Our median effective property tax rate (tax bill ÷ assessor's market value) accounts for exemptions and deductions, making it more accurate than the general median tax rate, which is the midpoint of statutory rates before adjustments.

Property Tax Assessment Values Across Georgia
Understanding the distinction between "market value" and "assessed value" is crucial when examining property taxes in Georgia. The market value is what a willing buyer would pay to a willing seller in an open and competitive market. Location, property condition, and economic market trends often influence it. Each Georgia county assessor estimates the market value for tax purposes. The assessed value is the market value minus any applicable exemptions or limits determined by local laws and offerings. The tax assessed value is the figure used to calculate your property taxes or the amount multiplied by your tax rate to get your tax bill. Assessment notices: In Georgia, assessment notices are sent in the spring each year. They’ll typically reach your mailbox by the end of April. Each property owner receives an assessment notice that contains both the market value and assessed value, along with an estimate of your property tax bill. By providing insights into how assessed and market values are determined, this section helps property owners navigate their tax responsibilities and understand the valuation processes affecting their property taxes in Georgia. For example, Dawson County has the highest median home price at $401,900.

Property Tax Appeals in Georgia
Navigating the property tax protest process in Georgia can be a daunting task for homeowners. The journey begins when homeowners receive their annual property tax assessment notice. If they believe their property's assessed value is inaccurate, they have the right to file an appeal. The initial step involves submitting a written appeal to the county board of tax assessors within 45 days of receiving the notice. This appeal should clearly outline the reasons for contesting the assessed value, such as discrepancies in property characteristics or comparable sales data suggesting a lower market value.
Once the appeal is filed, the board of tax assessors reviews the case and may adjust the assessment if they find merit in the arguments presented. If the homeowner is unsatisfied with the board's decision, they can escalate the appeal to the county board of equalization, a panel of impartial local residents, or opt for arbitration or a hearing officer, depending on the case specifics. The board of equalization listens to both the homeowner's and the assessor's evidence before making a final decision.
Potential outcomes of the appeal process include a reduction in the assessed value, which can lead to a lower property tax bill, or the original assessment being upheld. Engaging with Ownwell can significantly ease this process for homeowners. Our team of experts guides clients through each step, from filing the appeal to presenting a strong case before the board. With a deep understanding of local tax laws and access to comprehensive market data, Ownwell ensures homeowners have the best chance of securing a favorable outcome in their property tax appeals.
Exemptions in Georgia
Georgia offers several property tax exemption programs designed to reduce the financial burden on homeowners. One of the most common is the homestead exemption, which provides a reduction in the assessed value of a primary residence. To qualify, homeowners must occupy the home as their primary residence as of January 1st of the tax year. This exemption can significantly lower property tax bills, making homeownership more affordable.
Another important exemption is the school tax exemption available to residents aged 62 and older. This exemption helps senior citizens by reducing the portion of their property taxes that fund local schools. Additionally, the Disabled Veteran Exemption offers substantial relief for veterans with a service-related disability, further easing their financial obligations.
To apply for these exemptions, homeowners must submit an application to their county tax assessor's office, typically by April 1st. The process requires proof of eligibility, such as age or disability status, and documentation confirming primary residence.
Ownwell can assist homeowners in navigating these exemption programs by providing guidance on eligibility requirements and application procedures. With expert assistance, homeowners can ensure they are taking full advantage of available exemptions, leading to significant savings on property taxes. By leveraging Ownwell's expertise, homeowners can better manage their tax liabilities and maximize their financial benefits.
